Likelihood to Recommend MediaValet is an exceptional tool for our end users. We upload the images and they find them. Most often with great ease. Had we known how many images we would be adding, and our different audiences from the start, we might have set up our file structure a little differently.
Read full review If you want to share (or access) the most current version of any content MediaBin can be useful for ensuring that you are getting the right thing - assuming you can find it. Another useful functionality - OS sharing or exporting different file formats for a file. Often PDF works, but sometimes you need a file in a different image format and the software can allow that.
Read full review Pros I love that we can add keywords. It makes finding assets very easy. I love the fact we can make lightboxes. It makes sending assets to different people easy. They are always adding more features to MediaValet to make it better. I love that we're not limited to which types of files we can upload to MediaValet. Read full review Export files in multiple formats Help reduce email clutter as a central repository Help with version control Read full review Cons More flexibility/features when using Lightboxes Replace an old version of an asset with a newer one without having to check-out, then check-in Sharing an asset or a set of assets via a share link -- would be great to generate shorter, dynamic URLs for sharing as opposed to the longer string URLs it currently generates Read full review Search is often a chellenge - using the file name or "item number" doesn't always bring up the expected results. Navigation is not intuitive in places - finding different functions The export function is powerful but not always clear, several options seem like the same thing. e.g. Do I need FTP ot HTTP download? Do I care? Read full review Likelihood to Renew It is not only likely, but we have been doing it for more than 6 years. We have even had the service since before I joined the company. The service works well for me and I hope that this service will continue to be renewed next year, as not having it would make my job more complicated.

Read full review Support Rating The team is very responsive to requests and makes a point to provide feedback or status updates before confirming solutions.
Read full review Implementation Rating I mainly use MediValet to send special medical images to our partners. Collaboration with other companies is very simplified through MediaValet. The qualitatively uploaded images can be excactly assigned and organised through various filters. It is much clearer and easier for our partners to understand when the images have been accurately labelled and assigned beforehand.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Asset sharing and organization is better, more user friendly, and more appealing within MediaValet. The layout and flexibility give these portals a much more professional look and feel. Both internally and externally we have appreciated the output of these specific portals much more than what we had been attempting to share with these other programs.
Read full review I was not involved in the selection process but MediaBin seems to be more of a "repository" than a "file-folder" system. It also displays thumbnail previews of files making it useful for sorting through visual elements, like photos or PDFs. I am not certain how it compares with regard to version history.
Read full review Return on Investment While we have had MediaValet only for a short period, we are already seeing improvements in how quickly certain projects can be completed. I recently created an Annual Report which had a lot of big image files and data tables and using a Lightbox with our design agency to share these files saved us a huge amount of time. As we roll out MediaValet to the teams, staff are becoming more aware of the quality, amount, and value of our best assets. Read full review This software is more of a tool that resides in the background, so it is difficult to measure ROI. One negative impact is the challenges of managing access and thus limiting productivity when people can't access things. Another negative impact is the poor search functionality reducing productivity in finding the correct files when needed. Read full review ScreenShots
